Weaving a Greenwood Cloche in Hopalong HollowPart2 of Garden Cloche

[@jansfield5314]

So glad you made these cloches! I have retired early due to kidney disease and other issues, so I want ti be self sufficient in my garden, on a tight budget, but like to use what I have in my garden! I hate plastic and love natural materials, make do and mend is definitely me! I love love your channel and I am a new subscriber working through all your videos and really having a lovely time! Tyfs x🙋

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

These are so charming and easy to make, you will love them in your garden.

[@SDQuilter]

These are beautiful!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I ended up making about 8 woven tepees and cloches... then I ran out of whips.

[@patriciamoslow7040]

Love that idea the bunnies in my yard this year are not my friends that might keep them away

[@cynthiawicker2175]

I'm a little late in watching this, but absolutely enjoyed it! Your rustic cloches are very magical! Love, love, love!

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

Very imaginative. Thank you for sharing. Wonderful seeing natures throw aways being used to create something so beautiful. 😊🐝🦋😊

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Thank you very much!

[@patriciacinea3097]

Ingenious! Very Hopalong Hallow. I will have to scavenge what I might have here in my wooded property in CT.

[@alwaysinblue]

I keep coming back to this video to learn how to make these rustic, lovely cloches. Thank you for sharing your technique. Merry Christmas!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Hope you will give it a try!

[@familyfun2784]

A perfect cloche - rustic, natural, and practical. Thank you Jeri!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I am pleased with the way they turned out. I searched all over the internet and couldn't find any directions, now I'm glad for it since I had to make up my own!

[@clairebeane3455]

I love your “experiment”. It’s lovely. Perhaps you could fashion an acorn hat and make it into an acorn finial there at the top. ❤️

[@patriciajessup5275]

Jeri I am an avid willow weaver and have yet to create some of these beauties. COngratulations on the outcome, they are gorgeous. Also thanks for sharing the how to instructions this is a bonus that inspires me to get busy.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

That's great ! I need to make a few this year .

[@debofChrist]

Super smart idea. Once you get some practice you'll be making those at an industrial pace!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

The difficult part is finding the right wood...

[@debofChrist]

@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow when I find some time I'm going to try these. I was scrolling through some crafting DIY's. People have been making lanterns out of the faux metal (plastic) garden trim. You can find these at Dollar Tree, walmart, etc for a $1. I think that they could be used to make more of a square shape.

[@nancyhaywood2872]

i must try to make one of those. i have made wreaths from muscadine vines. that is looking very good. love your videos and your lovely gardens

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

They are fun to make and seem to be lasting in the garden very nicely.

[@willowcoulter8274]

liked watching you Jeri. The cloches look good to me. I think they would be so special in the garden!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Willow, I just hope I make enough of them to cover all the areas I need them for. They do look good wherever you put them...

[@2sons1lv]

Oh man. I can’t believe I never saw this video!!! I love these cloches. Thank you. I just so enjoy all your natural beautiful EVERYTHING 😃

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Glad you like them, they look great in the garden.

[@MicheleLRid]

These are so pretty!! I love natural materials and using what is available to make a useful and beautiful item!

[@RR-ep6uc]

I’m very excited I just ordered two of your books for my great grand daughter. They look so beautiful I know she’ll be excited and surprised to receive them in the mail. She is only 4 but she love for her Grandmother and Mother to read to her.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I'm sure she will love the books, they are filled with so much art., a "search and find" and fun stories. Did you purchase off Amazon?

[@thisisengland1601]

Thanks for the video haven't got much willow so gonna see what other things are about i think you could make a basket using this method look brilliant

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Any green wood will work; I've used Mulberry, Rose vines, maple and Locust.

[@suburbanhomestead]

They look great!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Siloe, these would be perfect on your property, it seems very much your style. We have very much the same taste.

[@sweetefelicity]

Hi Jeri, someday this rain will stop! Those cloches are so creative and useful.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Marqueta, Our rain stopped at last... for now.

[@jendonofrio7451]

Those are so cute 😍. They would be great to sell at a farm stand or craft fair

[@tracyheath6076]

I have about 10 acres of much grapevine .... I am gonna try this method with the grapevines and other greenwood also am gonna use the grapevine for those little fences you made. In fact I have already started right after I watched that video of yours.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I bet they turned out beautifully!

[@yvettedistefano6396]

Love those! I hope mine turn out as nice. Thank you for the great video.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Yvette, Yours will look just as good, they are fun to make once you get the hang of it.

[@susanstage9279]

I just love your creativity! Phenomenal ideas!

[@sweetwoodruff6246]

You’ve inspired me so much. I’m ready for you to get out in your garden and share more videos. I’m anxious to see your gardens in spring and see what you have planned. So I can steal your ideas. 😉 Peace and blessings from Zone 8 Texas.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Michal, I've been trying to make a video for a week, but it's either raining or too cloudy and dismal for outside filming. I have a few clips, nearly ready to go on planning a cutting garden, seeds to plant, etc. Glad you are using my ideas!

[@sweetwoodruff6246]

Jeri Landers the Storybook Gardener omgoodness I went crazy this winter in my yard and gardens, and I’ve started a billion seeds. We can grow similar things I just have to take into account our summer heat here. I’m still planning my shade garden. I don’t know how to create a you tube video or I would show you what I’ve done. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

@@sweetwoodruff6246 Sometimes it does require a billion seeds just to get a couple hundred flowers. My Larkspur and Poppies are doing great, sown in January, popping up everywhere. I hope yours do really well!

[@trishabrinkdesign]

Wonderful idea! Thanks for the great tutorial as well. I am looking forward to the cutting garden series! I am attempting to start my own cutting border this year myself. It will be fun to follow along and see what you come up with. As always thanks for all your hard work sharing your gifts and talents via videos.💕🤗

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Trisha, It's going to be an interesting challenge to incorporate, perennials, biennials and annuals into a large cutting garden that doubles as a cottage garden.. should be fun!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Oh, these are so sweet. I have always loved wattle fences and other woven garden supports and this is a great idea.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I've put them to work already...

[@countrygalinthecity]

Your projects look like so much fun....love rustic! I'm going to try the fence first....

[@Barbara-ty8dj]

Love this idea. So many directions you can take it. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit!

[@Erndales]

They are fantastic...great job! Going to make some of these in spring, for sure. Wow, that's a lot of water on your paths and driveway.... Thanks for sharing Dale from Canada

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

We had about 5 days of rain, it got even more drenched than that! The creek was nearly up to the top of the bridge and the ducks were in waterworld Heaven!

[@LearningCurveAcres]

Those are wonderful! I can't wait to try making some of these for my garden this spring. I'm thinking these will be great for Peonies. Thank you for all of your inspiring ideas. Take care - Marcie

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Marcie, I made a few more, like tepees, for the Peonies, Much taller and probably more appropriate for the height of the plants.

[@cyndireed2505]

Thank you so much!!! You have helped me solve several problems in my garden with this idea. I’m going to use forsythia branches and ivy vines. I can’t wait! Yay! 🌞

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Cyndi, It's a great way to use the pruned wood AND you have something rustically useful in your garden, have fun!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

BRILLIANTLY DONE ! 💖💜❤️💗💕👍☺️ take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Chris, It works like a charm!

Brought here by Siloe Oliveira! You have a beautiful channel!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Thankyou! Siloe has some great ideas, just my style.

[@meganschafer2632]

I love your hopalong hollow style of gardening!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Megan, Thanks, It's an easy, old fashioned garden style that is very friendly.

[@sueb7065]

Beautiful and rustic.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Sue, And long-lasting, if cared for properly

[@TXDHC]

Love them!!! Finally something to do with the creeping Wisteria!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Wisteria vines are just great for woven fences too!

[@justlookin2]

Cant wait to try them. I have lots of willow to use! Thanks!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Marsha, lucky you, Willow is on of the longest lasting of the green wood, wish I had more of it.

[@novemberschild7653]

Looks like I have a new project inspiration for the coming weeks! I think I would like 3, in differing sizes. These are beautiful and your instruction is beyond helpful (I'm a visual person), thank you so much! Hello to Mr. Peabody!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

A smaller size would be handy, just not as easy to weave. Let me know how you do with yours!

[@pjd2709]

Thank you Jeri, I'll have to try this, I love trellises made of this type of things, they just look beautiful, and you made it from your garden too, awesome!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I'm going to be making a lot more in the next few weeks!

[@annebeck2208]

Yeah!!!! I had been looking for directions for this and found none, until you made one. I want to make several huge ones to act as topiary and garden decoration (and keep deer from nibbling) I think I will use the top knot to hide the joins. See how it goes.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

It would work very well for making tall plant supports as well. I'm going to do some around 4 ft tall for plants that vine, to add some height to the garden.

[@pennysantana7809]

Very nice to use all of nature's treasures to help nature's growning cycle. Love this idea , thank you 💖🙏

[@patriciaandjudgey1442]

You are absolutely amazing!!! The comfort and sweet safety of watching your videos is such a wonderful addition to my day! May God bless you ....your biggest fan from Denver 🥰

[@janicegardner9458]

Love these. Hope to try my hand at them! They are expensive to buy around here in se NC. Thanks for sharing!

[@PossumLady8262]

I actually went out and gathered some twigs/ small limbs since our weather turned a bit warmer today. Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial!!!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Possum, Have fun! One thing I failed to mention is to bend your warp wood very gingerly, lest it crack.

[@PossumLady8262]

@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow I already learned on the first small limb...lol!

[@deezie78]

Morning,, great video* I LOVE the way these rustic cloches came out. It actually looked like you have been making them forever* the wood idea is great, I would never have thought of that* I will try making some in the next few weeks*

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I just made 5 more of a different style... Give it a try!

[@Mistycolleen]

So fun! I can't wait to try this!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Misty, have fun and make a lot of them! These should last for a few years if you pack them away in the winter.

[@luckychicav7981]

I love your rustic cloches Jeri! ;D I was paying such close attention really focusing on what you were doing and saying and your Mr Peabody's greeting like to give me a heart attack, LOL!!! =) I was watching your video late and the house was quiet, I should have expected his greeting he always calls out. ;) Wow that rain was really coming down. Thank you for another great project and video!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Lucky, That's funny! I must be used to their screeches, but not in the middle of the night! We've finally had a respite from a week of rain. SUNSHINE TODAY!

[@farminginmyapron1718]

These are wonderful! I'm going to have to give this a go once our weather warms up.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Please do! Let me know how it works out for you.

[@pamelalane6576]

Have been anxiously awaiting for these instructions, soon as weather breaks here I'm on the search for some vines and small branches on our property, I will be referring back to your video until I learn your technique, you have given excellent instructions to follow... Thank you for sharing this ever so helpful diy...come spring, come spring!!!!!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Pamela, I'm sure you'll become very adept at making these. I made my third one in half the time and only wish I could find more of the Vitex wood!

[@EvaWright]

Thank you for the idea. They are wonderful! I have always wanted to make some vine inspired decorations.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

It's a good craft to learn for a gardener, and charming among your plantings.

[@GreenLadyDV]

Beautiful! 💚💚💚

[@MarcyCoate]

These are so pretty! I love the rustic look.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Marcy, they do a nice job for your plants as well. I am using them now to support Peony plants.

[@mandythislovelypath3740]

Oh, so pretty! I have grape vines and willows, so I will try this. Love all the bird sound.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Willow would be great for the ribs and the grapevine for the weaving, have fun!

[@withheldsmith493]

HI JERI. WATCHING YOU MAKE YOUR TERRIFIC CLOCHE. I GOT AN IDEA THAT I COULD SEE YOU MAKING A BIRD NEST WEAVING THE LIght wood whips

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

An idea I may consider.....

[@sbarton291]

Love these!

[@rwatts2155]

Hi Jeri. You constantly amaze me ! I LOVE the cloche that you created. I'd like to offer a suggestion and I hope you are not offended. My suggestion is to cut the plywood into a round disc. Get rid of the excess length and then attach the plywood disc to a lazy susan. This way you can just turn the jig as you weave the ivy vines. This should make it easier for you to make the cloches. Thank you for sharing yet another WONDERFUL idea with all of us.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Randy, no offense taken, it's a good idea. The lazy susan would have to be small, so as not to cover the drilled holes, as the branches need to be pushed through at least 5".

[@sagg9209]

Amazing. These are beautiful.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

The plywood pattern also works well for making tepees for climbing plants. I made 5 of those in half the time it took to make these. Thanks for watching!

[@apark9538]

I love those !!!!!

[@yalvi]

These are beautiful. I want to make some.. gotta find pliable wood!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Not a problem, anything that's green (bendable) will work.

Sweet!

[@SolunaHBSpa]

We have a couple of burning bushes that need a good pruning - it probably has never been pruned by the previous owners. So I’m thinking maybe I can try to create a garden cloche with those?

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

As long as the wood will bend without cracking , you should be fine. I try everything!

[@beatrizgarcia6525]

Lindo y bendecido día tenga 🙏🙏🙏

[@michelleackerson4524]

Holy smokes Jeri...does your yard routinely flood like that? Yikes! I'm afraid I won't be making any of these cloches until spring either. This old gal isn't sturdy enough to snowshoe out to the woods anymore. But I did go thru my seed basket today and it looks like I've got everything I need for planting some seeds next month...I can't wait to get started. Another great video :-)

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Michelle, about once a year we get these amazingly LONG rain weeks. This is nothing! It was even more flooded a few days later when the creek turned into a river, then a lake. Fortunately, it never comes up to the house and the water fowl love it. Hurrah that you've got all your seed stuff ready to go, I just started mine yesterday for the cutting garden.

[@maryannekomar6652]

Those are darling! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talented self. Would grape vines work? Xx

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Mary Anne, I'm pretty sure the grapevines will work if you soak them first. Just be sure your wood isn't brittle or it will be cracking the whole time you wrap.

[@shellg5335]

Is there a source to buy “green wood” for those of us in a small Track home with no trees?

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Richilde, I do believe their is a source for buying Green Willow bunches in California, I remember seeing it online. You are in the right state!

[@christykulwicki4323]

Hi Jeri do you think I could make these out of Christmas tree branches? I have a bunch of branches and need these cloches to stop the rabbits from eating all my perineal plants.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

As long as they bend and don't break. just be sure to soak in water for an hour or so.

[@countrygalinthecity]

Do you think trumpet vines would work?

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Most vines would work....

[@nancyhaywood2872]

jeri what is the diameter at the bottom?

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Around 14-16, but you can do it any size you wish.
